hello, everyone, you are watching "cnn newsroom." i'm rosemary church. >> i'm john vause. we'd like to welcome our viewers in the united states and around the world. we begin with the rising death toll in the south korean ferry disaster. >> 108 confirmed dead, 190 still missing. the underwater search turned up no additional survivors. >> prosecutors are working on their case against crew members. four arrests monday bring the total in custody to seven. >> and nearly a week after the ship carrying mostly high school students went down, the ferry's operator offers another apology. it says in part, "we pray for the victim who lost their precious livestude the accident. we prostrait ourselves before the victims' families and beg for forgiveness." now for the latest on is the research, our nic robertson is

live at the rescue staging area in the seaside down of jindoh. talk about how difficult the conditions are for divers essentially looking for dead bodies inside the hull. >> reporter: the conditions are very tough. not only are they battling currents and very limited visibility, it's getting around on the ship that's proving difficult in itself. they have ten guide groups from the surface secured on it the ship so they can find their way down. that's how tough it is to see. they've been faced with obstacles that they have to physically move. they've been able to get into what they describe as a lounge area where there were entertain facilities. they understood -- entertainment facilities. they wanted to get to the area where the lounge of the cafeteria is, it's a solid wall, so they're contemplating breaking through somehow. they believe that more of the missing may be inside the cafeteria area, going through the cabins on the fourth level

of the ship there toward the rear of the ship, that in itself difficult. again, the visibility being -- being the issue. we've now heard from the navy here that one of the navy divers has been taken aboard a navy medical vessel here, a korean -- korean navy medical vessel here with a suspected partial -- a suspected paralysis. so -- or possible paralysis. so those are the dangers of diving in these conditions here, as well. of course, the divers need to monitor and keep in check how long they allow themselves to get back to the surface so they can avoid complications through the diving jump. >> officials are using this remote-controlled underwater camera. is that actually speeding up the process here? is that working out? >> reporter: one of their kbrns using the equipment originally was that the tides were too strong. the tides have weakened off a little bit which helps them. we haven't heard if officials.

the cameras have been -- heard from officials. the cameras have been a positive part in the rescue part of the mission. part of the reason would appear to be the limited visibility. divers are describing not being able to see their hands in front of their face. a lot of this is being done by touch. and of course, a camera can only bring limited benefits in those situations. >> there's also an investigation ongoing, as well. still a lot of unanswered questions as to what caused this disaster in the first place. many of the questions will be answered when the ship is lifted to the surface. is there a time frame, though, when that might happen? >> reporter: we're not being given a time frame. in part because we're still being told the priority is the rescue. there is some oil leaking out of the ship, as well. there's an effort it contain that. even the cleanup operation for that is not being sort of pushed ahead because the real focus is to get the divers in and to just try to see if there's any hope of anybody surviving in an air

pocket on board the ship. certainly a lot of the heavy dwhamt would be needed to lift the ship is being brought interest place. heavy cranes, big stantions are out there. the equipment is arriving, but there won't be a signal for the process to begin until the government declares no one could have survived this. after that only will the process of actually raising the ship to the surface begin. >> thank you. nic robertson live with the latest on the search. thanks. for many of the parents there, there's pretty much only two pieces of information they're getting. either your child is still missing or they're dead. >> yeah. it's just -- heartbreaking. the scenes that we're seeing, again, repeat over and over. this is going to be a long process. >> yes. the brother, the weather conditions. they've been -- the other, the weather conditions. they've been erratic. >> we've been tracking this the last couple of days.

how is it now? what can we and this. >> as you saw in the live shot, it is beginning to improve. the next couple of days, generally clear skies. the last of the storm system will exit. look at the island and rainfall. typically this time of year, you're saying rain once every three days. that's pretty much what we've seen since the incident, the accident. the conditions again expected to improve. we should say three, maybe four days of generally cloudless skies and lack of rain and wet weather. the general region here, scattered showers the past few hours. notice the area seeing showers moving toward the island. in particular, the currents, of course, and the wave heights have been extremely difficult. 1.5 feat across this area over the past 24 hours. we expect that to drop dramatically as high pressure builds. quiet weather expected to return with the rainfall, going to remain to the south. that's the main issue as far as wet weather across the south of shanghai. the temperatures at this hour across the region, in celsius,

that's almost about 70 degrees fahrenheit just north of the observation zone. to the south, temperatures about, say, 60 degrees finer hate or 16 degrees celsius. sunny and improved visibility at the surface. that's always good news. of course, we know below the water, just a couple inch in front of your hand, it is an entirely different story with visibility. challenge is still there, but below the surface. >> thank you very much. >> thanks. we're going to stay on the korean peninsula. south korea is keeping close watch on its neighbor to the north. seoul's defense ministry says pyongyang may be preparing for another nuclear test. journalist andrew salmon joins us from seoul. what sdens have south korea have that -- evidence does south korea have that indicates the possibility of a nuclear test? >> reporter: they're saying they've seen increased activity at the underground nuclear test site in north korea.

and we've had unconfirmed reports this activity consists of vehicles and increased numbers of personnel. but the south korean defense ministry are being very, very tightlipped about the source of the intelligence which is being shared with the americans. however, they are taking it seriously. they've activated a special task force which is keeping a close eye all developments. >> of course, we know that u.s. president barack obama will be traveling to seoul at the end of the week. how imminent is this possible nuclear test? can they work that out? any indication of when it might happen? >> reporter: i can't answer that. we can't be sure. it is, nuclear, a nuclear test. it could be an upgrade of activity. it would be the nancy simply doing what they often do, grab the world's attention with a provocative or worrisome act this would be very much in character with this regime, particularly as you say, with

president barack obama due here on friday. what we have been told by a defense official that needs to remain nameless is that it's actually easy for them to conduct this nuclear test. apparently they do have their materials, their equipment on the site. all they made it now is the political go ahead -- all they need now is the political go ahead from pyongyang. >> journalist andrew salmon in seoul. many thanks to you. stermy weather has grounded some search planes while uncertainty is raising temperatures once again. >> yeah. after the short break, the latest on the search for malaysia airlines flight 370. plus, u.s. vice president heads to ukraine? he's bearing gifts. the day we rescued riley, was a truly amazing day. without angie's list, i don't know if we could have found all the services we needed for our riley. for over 18 years we've helped people take care of the things that matter most. join today at angieslist.com ♪

my son is still alive. >> reporter: all hope fixed on each small submersible in the southern indian ocean. cnn, perth. meanwhile, families of the 239 people on board the missing plane are desperate for any information. loved ones in beijing were ready for much anticipated meeting with malaysian technical experts are monday. but it never happened. emotions boiled over. senior international correspondent, ivan watson, joins me from cnn beijing. why did malaysian authorities abandon this early commitment they to make technical experts available to families so that some of their questions could be answered? >> reporter: well, according to the malaysian deputy chief of mission, he's the number-two man at in beijing, he said the authorities decided this wasn't the proper time answer these technical questions that the

committees that the families have put together put into writing and submitted to the malaysian authorities. instead, he informed a new delegation would be meeting with the families. today, tuesday, we've learned that the deputy foreign minister of malaysia has been dispatched to beijing. no meeting has taken place yet with the families. when perhaps 100 relatives who were in a packed conference room heard this announcement, they really exploded emotionally. for close to three hours, they took turn, at times yelling, at times sobbing, chanting "stop lying to us." at various occasions, cursing at the malaysian diplomat. at one point, an elderly man got up whose son was on board the missing plane. me really begged for information

from the diplomats. listen to what he had to say. [ inaudible ] >> we don't know at this point whether they're alive or dead. >> you haven't given us any direct proof wherever they are. we want our loved ones back. >> reporter: at the root of this, rosemary, is hundreds of people -- there were 153 chinese nationals aboard that flight, and about 100 other nationalities represented. at the heart of this is people who do not know what happened to their loved ones and clearl do not trust -- there's a lot of suspicion about the investigation and search that's been spearheaded and leveled by malaysian authorities. in absence of concrete details

about what happened in the final moments the plane was in the air, what we're seeing here is the chinese organizing committees doing their own research, trying to do their own detective work to figure out what happened to the plane. what part of the indian ocean it may have crashed in, and how to pinpoint where it my have gone down it help in the search itself -- it's highly contentious meetings between the people giving information to the families. it's day to day in this conference room. >> the malaysian authorities have dropped the ball, haven't they, when it comes to families. there seems to be a reluctance on the part of malaysia to work with the families of the passengers and answer questions, even if it's just a few of the questions. they don't have a lot of the answers themselves, it appears.

>> reporter: there is a major communication problem here. and perhaps some of it goes back to when the plane disappeared and malaysian airlines sent out text messages to the next of kin of passengers that were informed of the disappearance of the plane. that was written in english. many of these chinese families don't speak english. so that was one initial major problem here. in the last week that i've been near beijing, i've seen some other serious gaffes. there was an attempted video conference between families here in beijing and top technical officials in lump l. there was a -- kuala lumpur. there was a technical glitch that left the malaysian officials mute. so the families marched in protest en masse. since then, there have been promises to bring technical experts to brief them, then it's been reneged upon.

it's added to the aggregation, pure fury on the part of many of these families, many who are having a difficult time psychologically coping and absorbing the fact that their loved ones may be gone. >> the world's been watching this play out. many thanks to you. ivan watson live from beijing. u.s. president barack obama leaves for asia later today. first he will stop in washington state to get a firsthand look at the destruction from a deadly mudslide there. he then heads on his four-nation tour of asia. he will visit japan, south korea, malaysia, and the philippines. the main goal is to reaffirm u.s. economic and military ties amid concern over china's growing influence in the region. the u.s. vice president is in kiev showing support for ukraine. why it could be little more than an empty gesture for a friend

"world soccer" magazine joining us now. no great surprises here. what's been the official word? >> well, the official word has come out as these things do now in a tweet in which united have said that david has left the club. and they thank him for his hard work and integrity. >> do they really thank him for his hard work and anickably. this is -- amicably.

this is -- >> yes, the building up has been since the weekend. i think they will appreciate the work and character. they've decided in actual fact they were mistaken in appointing humans in the first place. >> is it fair, though, to blame him for the collapse of manchester united do you think? >> no. i think david noyes is a very -- noys is asked to do this. he gave his speech in which he was after the end, but he's had a lot of difficult challenges. and the childs market now. and indeed from the -- would they be taking over for alex ferguson? hard to figure. >> almost impassable act to follow, i think united, the greater family, had appreciated

that there would be a downturn this season. i think the problem is they didn't expect it to be so far down that they wouldn't be in the champion league next season. >> is there any talk of who's going to take his place? >> i think ryan gigs may take over as interim mash amp after, that they'll be looking at the world market. >> the situation was when david moys took over and was told by ferguson himself that he was to take on the job. he described the blood draining from his face. he's been terrified since the start, hasn't he? what -- what needed to be dchb to change things around? >> obviously, people need to wise up for the event. when folks left the club, they should have been doing with stripping outside the woods

amongst the playing star. they should have had the rebuilding of the squdna united have lost an entire year in terms of transferring market work. what's happened now is that from the poor performance in the league, they thought, well, we're going to spend $150 million on new players this summer. we're not sure, but david moyes is who we want to truck. >> does moyes walk away quietly? >> well, i think what you can say is that there will probably be pretty tough negotiations going on between moyes' lawyers and united sports.

they come to some sort of hey, i have a settlement on this contract. i wouldn't imagine he would be paid the entire six years. the first that he would walk, as you say, walking away everettly and said q.b., i think it's been a great experience, sorry it ended badly. but it moves on will -- we move on. certainly a year or two. beyond that, i assume he would be paid by manchester united, he will, until he find a new jay. maybe a year before he gets back interest the game? that's tough to rebuild, and his only reputation. >> given the timing of this announcement and as we point out it audience, no surprise at all. a lot of that would already be worked out, shouldn't be it?

manchester united will be put in a more difficult situation than they already are. >> yes, i think that's right. i don't think they've made a formal announcement without being close it an agreement with moyes. i think they might have been pushed slightly because there's been so much speculation building up, it became clear that moyes could not have been expected to face the prematch and post match press kosovo there this coming weekend. and therefore, everything really has to move fast. so from that point of view, you can see they're in a strong negotiating position. >> given how this has worked out so badly, how much does this blot ferguson's record? >> reporter: well, his record as such as a manager, i think it probably raises, you know, a few queries. banks appointing noise.

but when missouoyes took the jo there were very few evidence saying he got the job. moise is working with aejing. be honest, whether he's seen evident playing like we would be. you also see enchanted wipe hours -- with united, the difficult of following it may even be ferguson himself underestimated the power of his personality in being able to drive an aging squad last season to win one more premier league title. >> what effect does this have on a team which is obviously already struggling and now there is further upheaval, change of

manager, now another change of manager. it on -- under dramatic circumstances. >> well, i think it's not been good for a while. you've had various players and leaks coming out about how they weren't quite happy with certain things about training or about the batoning and the way that the manager announced to them, the team, that he was going to plant the weekend. so i think things have been quiet unhappy for a while. to some extent you could say the steam has been released now. quite a number of the players. weeper not going through them. the captain did it, three key defendants, there's been talk that robin occurs awkward, the dutch striker. we're probably going into the fact that abc, he was unhappy ferguson left in the first

place. in the years ahead, might be nice to see the team ram up. he's local differences from the the one we see at the moment. >> all right. kiev, thank you very much for joining us from line. and david mooyes, sacked. and we have what's new inside manchester united. we'll take a short break, but we'll be back in a few minutes. you're watching "cnn newsroom."

moyes. breaking news news. football club u.k. has sacked manager david moyes. >> he replaced ferguson last year. the team currently sits seventh in the english premier league and faces no chance of qualifying the next season's

champions league. that's why. >> an indication of why he was sacked. thanks. the trial of three jailed al jazeera journalists resumed in egypt later today. they were detained in december, accused of spreading false views and supporting the islamic movement of the deposed president, mohamed morsi, the muslim brotherhood. the journalists deny the charges. we have more from the capital on this. reza, if we look at the situation with the reporters, this would be their sixth court appearance. so far it seems the prosecutors haven't put forward much evidence to back up the charges. is it going to be any different this time? >> reporter: we're going to find out in the coming hours. for the past four months we've been waiting to see if state prosecutors can present evidence linking the journalists to any crime or terrorist activity. it simply hasn't happened. jed, what we've seen is a number

of bizarre and baffling developments that create the impression that either state prosecutors do not have any evidence against the journalists or are simply not taking it seriously. a couple of weeks ago, during the last session, prosecutors said they would present video evidence showing that these journalists were doctoring videos to broadcast false news. everyone in the courtroom was eager to see what it was. when prosecutors played it, the video turned out to be nothing but the old report from peter in somalia. there was one old report after the mall shooting last year. there was even show. horses in egypt. obviously none of these had anything to do with the case. the judge acknowledged this. the prosecutors said they had other video evidence but not the proper equipment it show it. you get an example of how the

proceeding is unfolding and how frustrating it's been for the journalists, their family, and the supporters. many of the reporters point to what's happened over the last 115 days and lack of evidence. that's why they say this trial is politically motivated, time it free the journalists. it hasn't happened yet. we'll see what unfold today. >> it's also the government of their countries, the canadian government, the australian government, also trying to bring pressure on official in cairo. it seems the egyptian government is ready to push away from that. what's actually happening? >> reporter: it's not clear what's happening, john. behind the scenes, it's not clear who's calling the shots and where this is going. the interim president assured the families of the journalists that the trial would be expedited. but the proceedings seem to be a fiasco until now. initially many observers said

these arrests, this trial was a message by authorities to anyone opposing the current narrative being dictated by the current government. you would think after 115 days and lack of evidence the journalists would be set free or at least released on bail. that hasn't happened yet. it's only added to the frustration and confusion of where this is going, john. >> you mentioned, what, 115 tollwadays they have been detained. the conditions are fairly brutal to say the least. how are they holding up? what's the health like, in particular mahmoud fahne? >> reporter: the conditions are tough, but it look like they're holding up remarkably well. physically they're doing remarkably well. the al jazeera reporter has an injury to his shoulder. during the last several sessions, we seem to be seeing them smile more. psychologically they seem to be
